Vincent Poon :: Ports of Call - Santorini
 
This was my third visit to this beautiful island, but this time I came by a cruise ship. Like all cruise stops, there wasn't much time for you to go sightseeing and you really shouldn't, as Santorini is a place for you to relax and enjoy the breath-taking view of the famous white houses as well as the sapphire-coloured Aegean Sea. If you would join a Mediterranean cruise in future, Santorini is the one port your shouldn't miss!

Wake up in the morning and we know we are in Santorini when we see the cliff of the caldera
This is the only port we anchored in the middle of the sea, with tender (boats) to transport us back and forth between the ship to the port
I think it is a must to enjoy breakfast with the surrounding of Santorini's beautiful scenery
The side of the ship can open up for us to use as a boarding platform for the tenders

Taking the tender to the old port
Arrived at the old port of Santorini. The new port was reserved for inter-island ferries
If you have not been to Santorini before, it is recommended you to take the boat to Oia and took the bus back to Fira afterwards
or take this classic junk boat to explore Nea Kameni, where the crater of the volcano is

This is the cable car, one of the three methods to take you up top. The other two is to ride a donkey or WALK!
As we didn't fancy  in walking up and we also didn't like to ride on those poor things, so we took the cable car instead..
It was only a 5 minutes journey (plus half an hour's queueing)
On the way up you get a magnificent view of the Aegean Sea
